time for massive civil disobedience - do the kids have the guts?
I believe the last time that “control” was attempted at a high school graduation...the crowd launched into a “The Lord is my Shepard.....” routine. Folks sat there in shock and all went along with it. Law enforcement aren’t about to arrest you for such a “statement”.
All in all....a Federal judge can order all he wants...but it doesn’t mean much in real life.
Be a damn shame if they all showed up with bullhorns and recited the Lord’s Prayer. Damn shame.
Good luck with that court case...er a couple hundred of’em all demanding jury trials for the ‘crime’ ... Your ‘Honor’.
Then have the parents and kids all give interviews across the region to inform the taxpayers just how much that the feds just cost them and ask that they vote accordingly to prevent this from happening again. I really don’t see any other option to wake people up. If they want to pay for thousands of court trials every graduation, every year all across the country, then we are over as a Republic anyway.
So if someone stands up and starts reciting the Lord's Prayer and the entire audience joins in, what are they going to do? Arrest everyone?
They'd get a big lesson in jury nullification.
They did in Pace, FL a couple years ago.
Why not have a mass prayer outside before the event begins?
Why must people who are not of your religion be forced to pray your prayer?
Would you be OK with a Muslim lead prayer?
Matthew 6:5-6 King James Version (KJV)
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
A girl from the school is already counter-suing the federal employee in a black robe for his constitutional usurpation of her rights.
If you ask me your right asking the Federal employee in black robes to correct themselves while nice is no different then asking a criminal to give back the property they stole from you.
